White-winged Dove
One thing about these Doves, you can always depend on them to clean their plate. White-winged's have just returned from wintering in Mexico.
Usually difficult to see the bronzing on neck, had an early sun.

BOS looks very nice. Like the crop, but some will say too square. Would try and get some feather detail under bird and legs and branch there, just so not black. Would burn in, or such, some of the light BG areas.

Hi Gus,
Nice catch, only thing I would suggest is some NR on the back ground :)
Hi Fplks

Hi Gus, big improvement! How come you didn't show the repost in the first post?
Well, the repost BG is too homogeneous for my tastes.
Again, FWIW, would like to see some color/detail in the black underside, leg, foot and branch.

Hi Tom
Moved away from beautiful California (Manhattan Bch) when I retired 24 years ago, and I guess the sun got to me. Finally got what you meant - Thanks
Think it does look better with feet showing. :D
Cheers
Gus
